    From Barry Martin@454:1/1 to Brian Scott on Sun Dec 21 07:03:00 2025

    Hi Brian!

    I moved this from Ham Radio...


    closed but was several hours later. They consistently ran out of baked potatoes! Potatoes are one of the easiest items to hold: bake a bunch,
    Sounds like the Wendy's here! They -=never=-have baked potatoes!

    Huh. It just dawned on me I haven't been to a Wendy's in ages. No
    reason other than we rarely eat out.

    S.N.: We have a regional chain called "Hungry Hobo"; their original menu
    or at least known for is based on what's now termed loaded baked
    potatoes, though multiply that 'loaded' by about ten -- definitely a
    meal! They also have subways/grinders and sandwiches.


    ...or an employee that has recently bathed...

    And you thought that was pepper!

    Barry,

    But I just was trying to see where that hissing was coming
    from!

    Like the old Tom T. Hall song of "Sneaky Snake". The critter
    didn't hiss...but he drank all the root beer he could find. <G>

    Or it could be like the critter from "Old McDonald's Deformed
    Farm"...a lisping snake....with a HITH HITH here, and a HITH HITH
    there, etc. <G>

    There was a short series on TV (ABC?) several years ago about nature;
    hosted by Helen Mirram who inserted numerous 'interesting' comments and deliveries. One quick segment about a snake, just coiled up, looking
    for something in the distance. Voiceover of the snake talking to
    himself, upset because people not showing up for his birthday party.
    Final line is "well happy <tweeeeet!> birthday to me!" with him flicking
    his tongue out during the 'tweeet' as a party noisemaker.
